To find the volume of a cone that has the same height and base radius as a cylinder, Nevaeh must multiply the volume of the cylinder by \(\frac{1}{3}\).
The formula for the volume of a cylinder is \(V_{\text{cylinder}} = \pi r^2 h\), while the formula for the volume of a cone is \(V_{\text{cone}} = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2 h\). Therefore, the volume of the cone is one third of the volume of the cylinder.
